Ok, so as fun and rewarding as your job may be you can’t, and you shouldn’t, spend all of your time busy with work. Trying to avoid work can be especially hard when you’re spending so much time at home. But, have no fear, W4MP comes to you with a solution! Below are a list of fun activities to keep you busy, keep you thinking, and keep you sane.
Online Activities to keep you busy offline during the lockdown
Here are some activities that we think will help you stay busy during the lockdown.
Moving around
- Fitness: If you’re missing the gym, or want to get into exercise for the first time, then P.E with JOE is probably the best place to start. Joe offers a really wide array of online classes that are suited to people of all abilities.
- Yoga: If you’re looking for something a bit more structured, then maybe online yoga is for you. Yoga with Adriene varies from soft and gentle to thoroughly exhausting.
- Ballet: The Dutch National Opera and Ballet, as part of their stay at home series, are streaming online Ballet Classes on their YouTube page. Classes come out once a week and are about thirty minutes long.
Cooking
- There are two kinds of people during a lockdown. People making sourdough and people struggling to find flour. If you’re in the first camp then Breadahead’s online baking course is for you. Live at 2pm (GMT) everyday on Instagram live, Breadahead teaches you how to make a wide variety of loaves from Focaccia to Ciabatta.
Hobbies
- Knitting is a wonderful hobby to pickup during these strange times. Meditative, calming and you get a jumper at the end! Arne and Carlos’ brilliant knitting youtube channel is a great place to go if you want to get started but don’t know how.
- Guitar Lessons. Laura Marling is giving online guitar lessons on Instagram live at 7pm every Sunday.
